The hosts characterize this as a "quid pro quo" or a delayed payoff for policies enacted during his presidency that benefited insurance companies. They compare the practice to Hillary Clinton's history of high-priced speaking engagements following her time in office.

The contract mandates a presidential suite, specific travel aids, and a $1,000 fee for a stenographer whose transcript cannot be shared.

Despite ICANN's status as a non-profit and claims that the fee was covered by private sponsorship, no specific sponsors were identified at the event.

Organizers often expect speakers to participate for free or even pay for the slot, while the conferences generate millions in profit. This model is seen as detrimental to independent writers and solo speakers who have no corporate backing to fund their appearances.
